There are currently two HART hubs in Canada’s Capital. Another exists in Belleville, and Pembroke is expected to receive one in the near future. And today, a facility in Smiths Falls is officially open, one that advocates are hoping will shape the community’s long-term health and positive wellness. Smiths Falls Mayor Shawn Pankow joins Kristy Cameron in Hour 2. Meantime, the feds are introducing a brand-new ‘express entry’ category for foreign-trained physicians. It’s part of a broader effort to address workforce challenges in Canada’s healthcare system. Here to explain further is Dr. Tara Kiran, a Physician and Researcher at St. Michael’s Hospital and the University of Toronto. She was also a Principal Investigator on the 2025 OurCare National Survey.
